nothing that special. Pt was 8 and had large distal decay on tooth #s. The decay was into the pulp chamber with No sign of abcess. I believe the settings I used were 20/240 (I will have to check). 60 secs on occlusal and 30 sec on buccal. Just went to work from there. Pt complained of no pain. I thought he would have jumped with the exposure of the pulp (didn’t). So I kept going. Once inside the chamber I switched to caries setting (I think it’s 30/60) to clean the chamber and not risk perforating the floor of the chamber. After the pulpotomy was complete, I switched to the high speed and prepped for ssc. What a breeze. The mother, the child, my assistant, my associate, and MYSELF were truly amazed! My associate did one today as well. We are hooked!

PS today I had an old pt of mine (9 yr old girl) who has had extensive work in the past. Upon last recall we noted distal decay on tooth #B. She refused to get in the chair. When I asked why, she said, “I do not want a shot or the drill.” I said, “no problem.” Needless to say we used the DeLight and she did cart wheels down the hall. It sound like a comercial but I can’t make this stuff up. In the last week I have done so many fillings that I would have needed local to complete. My first laser frenectomy was too simple. And today I treated a boy with two apthous ulcers. All this before Charlotte. I can’t wait to see what else I can do with the propper training.
